The 2026 FIFA World Cup games are underway. They’re being played in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. What many American fans may be surprised to learn is that foreign participants in the World Cup, including athletes, coaches and team personnel, may be subject to U.S. taxes on income earned while they’re here.
